A Warmsworth youngster is buzzing with excitement after recently winning a road safety competition and  has received safety vests for his school from Mayor of Doncaster, Peter Davies.

Kieran Waite (8), who attends Warmsworth Primary School, won a Doncaster schools' competition run by the local police community support officer, Scott Christie, last year. Youngsters had to design a logo for the campaign to stop people parking on yellow lines and zig zag lines outside school gates.

Kieran's design of a bumble bee, called PC Bumble, won him first prize. Kieran has seen his design come to life in the shape of a large stand up figure and won a certificate, £20 of vouchers and a trophy for his school at the time. Now he  has received  a number of high visibility vests and white baseball caps, complete with his logo, for his school.

Mr Davies said: "Kieran did an excellent job designing this logo. It gives me great pleasure to present him with his school's supply of high visibility vests and baseball caps, which will help to keep Kieran and his fellow pupils safe and sound when they are walking in the area with their teachers on school visits."

A number of hi-vis vests and baseball caps will also be presented to a further 24 primary schools in the west area of Doncaster, including those in Edlington, Mexborough, Denaby, Conisbrough, Sprotbrough, Scawsby and Warmsworth.

Money from St Leger Homes' Estate Improvement Fund and donations from all tenants' and residents' associations in the west of Doncaster helped to fund the road safety project, which includes big banners outside schools urging parents to park sensibly, not on yellow lines and not to park anywhere else in a dangerous or illegal manner.
